In Super Mario 64, if you get all 120 stars, a cannon will be unlocked in the courtyard that shoots you onto the castle roof. There, you can meet Yoshi, who rewards you with 99 lives!

Does it make any difference

Sturg wrote:HUB-DESIGNERS SIGN-UP FORM

Please answer the following questions:

1) What experience do you have in general HUB designing? (50 words max)

2) What experience do you have with LUA? (50 words max)

3) What experience do you have in custom sprite work? (50 words max)

4) If you did make it in, would you prefer to submit a level to the contest or make one for the potential post-game?

So does it matter if I am only good at making SMBX levels or does every level designer have to be good at making custom GFXs and coding with LunaLua as well?

Have those two qualities can definitely boost an individual's chances since the HUB will likely utilize them, but having both isn't incredibly necessary.

Wait, didn't MAGLX3 already happen?

No, maglx3 has been in preparation for the last few months.

Are we allowed to apply for more than one?

Yes.

One week left y'all!!! If you've had any inclination to be a judge/HUB designer, make sure to turn your sign-up stuff in soon!

As of now, I've gotten 4 people wanting to help with the music. While that is pretty decent, I'd like to ask for more. So I encourage anybody who has prior composition experience to feel free and message me, I could use all the help I get with the music!!!

1 weeks left y'all

3 (technically) days left everyone! Anybody with some sort of interest should still feel free to apply, it's only too late until after the deadline!

Thanks for everyone who signed up for one thing or another!

Composers are still always welcome, so again, feel free to message me/whatnot if you're interested!

Tune in soon!

hoo boy

Out of curiosity, how many people are signed up for music now?

Heya howdy! Thanks again to everyone who auditioned to be a judge/HUB designer/composer! It excites me to see a bunch of people wanting to help with the project. (again if you want to make beautiful music please say so)

I've gotten 8 people who are interested so far.

Judge-wise, I received a total of 10 applications, which I think is pretty good! There's some pretty interesting competition, with some incredibly varying results and scorings from each individual! It has honestly been a difficult time deciding who I think would do really good with the whole "judge a buncha levels" thing. I've managed to narrow it down to two judges (1 talkhaus, 1 SMBXer) who I think would do an excellent job and provide their own unique take as a judge.

However, before I announce who they are, I'd like to see who all you guys think should be a judge.

Therefore, I'd like to announce:

THE COMMUNITY-SELECTED JUDGE

Yep! To help prevent MaGL HOSTING BIAS TM, I'd like the communities (both talkhaus and the SMBX forums) to vote on who they think can do the best job at judging! I'd also like a 4th judge due to the several qualified applicants, as it would've made it a huge bummer not allow some of these guys to be judges!also also I'm waiting on beta 4 so that we can actually get this contest started soooo yeah you can call this "stalling" in a sense...

I have taken each applicant, even the ones that I have already selected, and have randomly assigned them to a fruit (because fruits are nutritious and awesome). I have also posted their scores and reviews down below where anyone could pop-in and take a quick look at what each judge has to offer. The identity of the applicants have been left out to prevent bias based on reputation, and I'd like everyone to vote based an applicant's judging style.

Now, what does everyone else have to do? Well, it's real simple!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Review the results, and decide who you want.

2) Click this link and fill out the survey.

3) Make sure to submit your vote by AUGUST 20th by 11:59pm MST!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Easy as that!

Everything that you guys need to know should be all down below, including some links to .gifs of the audition levels to provide a preview in-case you're not terribly familiar with them. I do implore everyone to, at the very least, glance at the written portion of the reviews. The judge comments, in particular, can provide interesting insight into each applicant. The graph/picture thing shows each applicants scoring and favorites from the pack. Take note that the levels in the pack itself were specifically intended to test certain level qualities and look at what each person likes/dislikes/prefers/all that mumbo jumbo. However, do remember that opinions do exist and people will have different experiences with each level.

*APPLICANTS: Do Not Reveal Who You Are! Keep it to yourself and don't spoil the fun yo!

***(Also take note applicants that some of the scores are different from what you put down, that's because some of your guys' math was wrong and I went through and fixed it... oops.)

Anyways, I'm interested to see who y'all vote for, and I'll just leave it at that! If there are any questions, please feel free to message me.

Audition Results

Level Previews

[1] Janky Gimmick [2] Aesthetic [3] Low Effort [4] Gimmick; Untested Puzzle [5] Hard [6] Romp

Written Reviews
Apple Banana
Peach Coconut
Melon Mango
Cherry Kiwi
Grape Blueberry

Thoughts:
Apple: Reviews were nice and short, mostly accurate scores. Someone I think would be a good judge.
Banana: These reviews are about the same quality as Ninja Boy's reviews...
Peach: Short and sweet reviews that say what he liked/didn't like about the level. He'd probably be a good fit for the contest.
Cononut: Reviews are too short and not really helpful.
Melon: Nice reviews that give good constructive feedback.
Mango: Seems like a very strict judge in terms of scores, but that would make the contest more interesting.
Cherry: Very good reviews that fit perfectly in a MaGL X contest.
Kiwi: Not a huge fan of these reviews, also his English isn't that good which makes him kinda hard to understand sometimes.
Grape: I like his reviews but the fact that he gave up on a hard level after only one attempt (or at least that's what it sounded like) is off-putting.
Blueberry: Some stuff he says doesn't make sense, but overall he seems like an okay judge.

Overall, my picks are:
1. Apple
2. Mango
3. Cherry
4. Melon

At least there are 4 good judges this contest rather than just 1 good host.

I just would like to say that most judges could say just a little bit more in their reviews. (Talking about most judges, not all) Mentioning one more pro and one more contra would be perfect. Thankies.

A reminder that TODAY is the last day to vote for the CS judge y'all. Make sure you get your vote in if you want your voice to be heard!
